SELLING ON THE SLY.
Three Saloon-Keepers Caught by Disguised
Officer Violating the Sunday Liquor Law.

Yesterday was the most trying Sunday the sa
loon men have had since the law began to be en-
forced. The warm weather caused beer
drinkers to besiege the closed saloons all day.
but only few bartenders were bold enough to
attempt to SELL The officer in citizens dress is
what they fear and the few who kept their
rear door open on the sly admitted only those
whom they knew. Several of the Washington
street saloons that have been attempting to
evade the law every Sunday had their doors
closed and their curtains raised. Two or three
of their number were arrested last Sunday, and
they Gid not care about running any risks. AS
usual, the uniformed men were unable to catch
anyone selling; but Tim Miller, who
out in citizens dress, gained
admittance to three places, and
at each found beer being sold. The first man he
caught was John Logan, who keeps a saloon at
the corner of Missouri and Merrill streets. The
door was opened to three raps, and the place was
found full of Matthias Selb. corner Of
Tennessee and Morris streets, passing

had boosted several times that they could not
catch him selling, but when Miller went in with
a half dozen other men and bought glass of
beer, he acknowledged he had been mistaken.
The superintendent has observed that but one
arrest is all that is necessary to cause a man to
close, for the second offensa, with the Mayor,

THE WALKING WONDER.
He Will Exhibit His Perpetual Pedestrianism,
but Will Wear No Monkey Jacket.

John 0. Snyder, the walking wonder" as the
Dime Museum advertisement puts it, is won
der very much against his inclination. Two
years ago he was attacked with very strange
affection which none of the doctors knew any
relief. which has left him the most persistent
pedestrian the country has ever produced.

THE KNIGHTS AND THE CHURCH.
Cardinal Tasclereau States the Conditions
on Which Offenders May Be Absolved.

QUEBEC, April 10.-The following circular
letter from Cardinal Taschereau bearing on the
Knights of Labor question. was read in the dit
ferent Roman Catholic churches to-day:

as did in my circular letter mo. 1871 of the I'd
of February, 1885, After representations made
by their lordships, the bishops OF the United
States the Holy See suspended until further or
ders the effect Of that sentence. In consequence,
l authorized the confessors of the diocese to alb
solve Knights of Labor on the following con-
ditions which it is your bounden duty to ex-
plain to them and make them observe:
"First-That they confess and sincerely re-
pent of the grievous sin which they committed
by not obeying the decree of September, 1884.
'.Second--That they be ready to abandon this
society as soon as the Holy See shall so ordain.
'.Third-That they sincerely and explicitly
promise absolutely to avoid all that may either
favor Masonic and other condemned societies, or
violate the laws, either of justice charity or OF
the state.
s.Fourth-That they abstain from every prom
Use and from every oath by which they would bind
themselves, either to obey blindly the orders of
the directors of the society or keep absolute Sc
cresy, even toward the lawful authorities (see
Discipline p 2l7 In behalf Of these penitents

time of paschal communion until the Feast of
Ascension, inclusive"
There is great rejoicing among the Knights of
Labor over the withdrawal of Cardinal Tasche-
reau's mandement of 1884 Clause OF the
circularletter has been well weighed by the
knights. and will be accepted by them, as it is
even now rumored that the encyclical letter will
remove all objections and recognize the order.
They seem to think the Cardinal is only paving
the way to revoke the mandement entirely.

A s.Liberal' Proposition for Debauchery.


A prominent Indianapolis brewer refused to
subscribe to a guaranty fund being raised to
cure the holding of national musical conven-
ton in that city next July. without the Mayor
would give him a written guaranty that visitors
to said convention should ''be allowed the free
dom of the city, undisturbed by the police" In
other words this liberal citizen demanded a
suspension of the laws in order that his beer
trade might have the additional stimulation of a
season of glorious free-for-all drunkenness and
debauchery. OF course this modest request was
Indignantly refused. This fair sample of the
